2019 Mazda Mazda3 owner complaints

I was driving about 30 MPH or slower in a light rain on a city street when my vehicle said that the front radar failed/unable to function, all safety systems are now disabled. This lasted for about 3-4 minutes and then it started to function again but only for 2 minutes and then it gave the same message and disabled all my safety systems while again. It started to function again as I pulled into my driveway which is why I was unable to get a photo. I have had multiple ongoing problems with lane departure warning and with the windshield wiper sensor and the doors and trunk locking and unlocking. I think the entire electrical system is defective and most of the problems come from the front radar but there are so many problems with the electronics that I this this vehicle is a lemon. The

Check engine light appeared then I had a dead battery. I purchased a new one and the check engine light went away for a while until now. Then I found a letter online that I never received of a recall for california vehicles that were manufactured during specific dates. Mine is listed as one but it does not have an active recall.

Driver side door handle failed. Cannot enter or exit through driver side door. If something were to happen that we need to get out in an emergency situation we cannot exit through the driver side door. No damage occurred. Just stopped working

Car has given multiple warnings that driver and safety assist features are disabled -- despite not being enabled. Car also gave a camera malfunction warning approximately 1 minute before slamming on brakes unexpectedly at 35-40mph and causing injury to driver;incident occurred at clear night with no other cars around. Car currently in shop; no word on what caused this or when it will be repaired.

Tl* the contact owns a 2019 Mazda 3. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to immediately accelerate after the brake assist was engaged. As a result, the contact's vehicle was rear ended by another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was not filed and there were no injuries sustained. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 7,000.

While the vehicle is in motion the right side blind spot monitoring system does not work occasionally. Sometimes this happens with a warning message but sometimes it happens without a warning. Multiple repair attempts have been made but the issue still keeps happening. Mazda is trying to work on this issue but is not able to figure out what is wrong with their vehicles.

Heated seat shuts off randomly while driving

I was driving on us one between ft. Pierce and vero beach, just before christmas, 2019. There was no traffic in front or besides me, although there were cars approaching from the rear. The car suddenly violently shook and came to an immediate stop. I tried to start it, and nothing happened. I could see cars coming up behind me and knew I could easily be hit from the rear. Thankfully they saw I wasn't moving, and they were able to move to the other lane. After 5 or 6 attempts, I finally got the car started and pulled off the road. I had not heard anything about this problem and thought perhaps I had caused the situation. I did not report it at that time as I did not consider it could be a defect. I now know that it is.

Dear sir or madam, I leased a new Mazda 3 on 12/20/2019. At the time of signing all documents I was provided with a document to sign that the dealership were not allowed to sell me a car with an open recall. After registering with the Mazda app I found out that there is an open recall. Is this legal and what are my rights? This seems extremely dishonest. I would appreciate your feedback and advice on what I can do in this situation. The vehicle may unexpectedly stop while driving due to inadvertent activation of the smart braking system (sbs) automatic emergency braking system. Many thanks

I was accelerating after a traffic light turned green and there were no cars in front of me when the car started braking automatically and came to a full stop. Luckily the car behind me was able to stop in time but there was no warning and no reason. I could have been rear ended. I pulled over and checked the two sensors and neither one was blocked (it had snowed here recently). I'm honestly scared this could happen again and Mazda is saying there are no open recalls about this for my car and that the car is fine.

Automatic break system malfunctions often and does a hard break. Also the perimeter sensor gets disabled numerous time out of blue while driving and stop functioning until the car restarts. The break happens without any prior indication or same situation. It just happens on the regular road as well as highway. But the highway just scares me. But there is no way I can tell Mazda with a proof.

Without cause: the vehicle will suddenly detect the presence of another vehicle and/or sense an imminent collision and subsequently applies the automatic braking system, causing the vehicle speed to suddenly decrease. This has happened repeatedly over the course of driving the car and resulted in being almost rear ended numerous times. This is a very dangerous scenario and could easily cause a severe accident, especially on the freeway when everyone around is going really fast and needs more time to react to the sudden and sharp slowing down of my vehicle. This happens in various locations, freeway, highway, or in the city. I have taken the car to the dealership numerous times to have this fixed, but get a different answer every time I take it in. But the problem remains unresolved and c

The smart brake system is malfunctioning. The car slams on its brakes for no reason. No vehicle is ahead of me. I have been driving at highway speeds when this occurs and I haven't been rear ended yet. It's happened numerous times before and after I completed the recall. The condition is worse when it's raining. The car has been at the dealership for over 30 days unable to repair.

The vehicle's battery has gone dead on several occasions since replacing the OEM battery. The OEM battery which was approximately 3 years old, also had gone dead, prompting its replacement. The battery has gone dead within 1-2 days of not using the car. Charging the battery by running it is only a temporary fix as the car needs to be constantly driven in order to charge the battery, which is not usual and customary for the maintenance of a vehicle. This cannot be functioning to manufacturer's specifications, as I find it extremely difficult to believe that manufacturer's specifications stipulate to drive the car with more frequency. This is a safety issue. Should this happen during the winter months, an individual may be left stranded. The NHTSA must demand Mazda to issue a safety recall

When trying to start the vehicle it is unable to start and the car chimes while the complete instrument cluster flashes off and on. The car will not start and the entire instrument panel blinks/flashes displaying all warning lights. I hear whirring and clicking noises. Just prior to it not starting I may experience the driver side vents pushing out hot air while the passenger side is pushing out cool air. I have the AC set to cool at 60 degrees both sides. I have 16k miles currently and the non start flashing instrument panel all started after Mazda did a recall and flashed the cars computer. The first problem was in April of 2020. The cars computer has been flashed more than 2 times. I have to jumpstart the car in order to start. Mazda has not found the problem and cannot recreat

Cracked cylinder head causing oil leak. Confirmed by Mazda Dealership. Vehicle has always had routine maintenance and remote start used to warm engine prior to driving. No warning lights appeared to alert driver prior to noticing issue- took it in because driver could smell burning oil which is a fire risk to safety of occupants while using vehicle. This type of issue is a manufacturer flaw and should be covered with recall since there are a lot of people online experiencing the exact same issue.

This began on 10.19.24 and as of 11.03.24 is ongoing and not repaired. On 10/19/24, while I was at a red light, the RPMs on my vehicle went up and down repeatedly. After I arrived at my destination, which was about a half mile away, and put the car in park, the RPMs repeatedly went up and down between 1,000 and 2,000 RPMs and the check engine light came on, and a message displayed saying malfunction - have the vehicle inspected. I spent $100 at my mechanic who could not pinpoint the issue. After I picked up the car, I stopped to get gas and then my battery died. I then decided to take my car to the dealer where I purchased it, Mazda of Roswell. After I put the car in park at the Mazda of Roswell service department, the RPMs started going back and forth between 1,000 and 2,500 RPMs. My car

A few weeks ago the following error message popped up on my dashboard: “Airbag Malfunction. Have vehicle inspected”. This message came and went intermittently whenever I had a passenger in the vehicle. I scheduled and appointment at my local Mazda dealership service center and in the meantime looked up the issue and found that it was extremely common and caused by a design flaw where the wire harness to the seat airbags was too short causing eventual failure. The issue was so prominent that Mazda even issued a service bulletin on how to fix it which included replacing the wire harness and adding extra security clips to help prevent future failure. So I get my car to the service center and after looking at it they confirm this exact issue, say it is not covered under any extended warran

I purchased my 2019 mazda3 hatchback brand new last sept (2019). This summer I noticed the rear driver side door was difficult to open fully. It seemed to be binding at the hinge. However, on further investigation I realized the front edge of the door was actually hitting/rubbing against the back edge of the front door! This had not been an issue for the first few months I owed the vehicle. I attributed it to either a settling of the structural frame of the car or an expansion of the doors due to the summer heat. Either one I believe are cause for action by the manufacturer. I have now brought the car to two different Mazda dealership service dept's and both explained that, while the car has obviously not been in an accident, repairing the defect under warranty might be more difficu
